Also known as: HF Diffusers
An open-source Hugging Face library providing diffusion model pipelines, schedulers, training utilities, and pretrained checkpoints.
DESCRIPTION
Diffusers by Hugging Face offers standardized pipelines for diffusion models across modalities like text-to-image, image-to-image, and audio. It includes UNet architectures, schedulers, and utilities for inference, training, and optimization. The library integrates with Transformers, supports LoRA fine-tuning, and provides reproducible examples. Its ecosystem accelerates prototyping and production deployment of generative models. Community contributions keep model implementations and best practices up to date.
